I like WeeMan from Jackass. He does some crazy stuff. I like crazy little people more than "normal" little people, like that family on TLC or whatever where the mom is always yelling at her kids, and her husband is on crutches working his ass off. That's definitely no fun. Seeing WeeMan skateboarding down a boardwalk dressed like an oompa loompa... now THAT's fun!
This is an easy one, it has to be Herve Villechaize. Standing at a tall 3'11" Herve has played some of the most beloved little people characters ever: Tattoo on Fantasy Island and Nick Nack from The Man With the Golden Gun. So I bid they ado with these parting words: "The plane! The plane!"
My favorite celebrity little person is now dead. He was Mr. Zip Code. For all you yougsters out there back in the day we had zones in our addresses which changed to zip code and his name was Johnny Paleo. He jumped out of the mail box in the 60's. An uncle to a girl I went to grade school with.
Ok-after clarification with the survey master's husband we are talking about adults not children. Good thing I didn't write Macaulay Culkin which would have confused everyone. I was also going to say Maggie (she is a big celebrity). Anyway my favorite "little person" is Amy Roloff from "Little People, Big World". She has 2 children that are little and 2 that are normal. I admire the way she raises her children and the things she does that all seemed to be involved. She seems to be very level headed (her husband doesn't seem so much). Anyway based upon by limited "little person" names that I am familiar with she is my pick!!!!
I guess if I had to choose I would have to say Danny Woodburn. I was always a huge 90210 fan and Seinfeld fan. His role as the leprechaun in the 90210 episode comes to mind. He was also a great addition to Kramer's role in Seinfeld. I loved his gruff role as Mickey Abbott, Kramer's small pal. (who can forget when Kramer and Mickey were fighting over the attentions of two women, one with dwarf parents and the other without?) I think he may also have apeared in the Flintstones movie "Viva Rock Vegas". Definitely one of the more memorable small actors.
Does Tom Cruise count as a "little person"? If so, I'm going to go with Wee Man. You can tell Wee Man is a classically trained thespian who was in the Shakesperian Theatre. And he likes to hit himself in the balls.
Timmy from the soap opera Passions. He used to help Tabitha, the witch, plot to kill people. Timmy looked like a little doll, see: http://soaps.about.com/library/passions/blpassiontimmytab.htm. Unfortunately, the actor who played Timmy had an early death. I'll always remember, though.
To be honest, I’m not really a fan of little people, which is probably why I’m going to choose one I read about instead of saw - Kimmy from “Are you there Vodka, It’s me Chelsea” seemed to be lots of fun.
and if you dont know who he is- here is what Wikipedia has to say about him-- Jason Bryant Acuña (born May 16, 1973[1]), better known as "Wee-Man", is an American TV host and actor. He is one of the stars of Jackass on MTV and the host of NESN's skateboarding show 54321. Acuña has achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism and is 4 ft 0.5 in (1.23 m) tall. He is also a professional skateboarder. Born in Pisa, Italy, Acuña grew up in Torrance, California and attended North High School.
He was the subscription manager for the infamous skateboard magazine Big Brother. His association with that magazine led him to become involved with the Jackass television series in 2001. Acuña's Jackass antics include skating as an Oompa-Loompa, kicking himself in the head (a feat accomplished with the aid of his dwarfen proportions), dressing as a king while rolling Johnny Knoxville down a staircase in a red carpet, doing deep-knee bends while holding NBA star Shaquille O'Neal on his back, and having Preston Lacy ask someone to help him with his bags, only to have Wee-Man pop out, causing Preston to give chase. His first appearance was on Jackass season 1 episode 2 where he dressed up as a reindeer doing a stunt along with Johnny Knoxville wearing a Santa Claus outfit.
In 2007, Acuña starred in the reality TV series Armed and Famous and in July 2007, Acuña appeared on TV as a host of MTV's Scarred Live.
Currently, Acuña is appearing and competing on NBC's Celebrity Circus. In the fourth week of competition, he became the first contestant to receive a perfect score (a 10 point average).
My favorite Little Person is TESSA BROWN. For those that do not know Tessa, she was the 4 foot something, Thai food eatin dynamo that worked in TM's at Sughrue a few years back. She went on to bigger and better things, but hopefully she will read this. She is missed. (She used to be part of the Survey crew)

That's a close call. It is a toss-up between "Mini-Me" and Tom Cruise.
"Da plane boss" little guy. I don't know his name. Oh, the black little guy in BAD SANTA. Don't know his name either, what an answer.
I LOVE Peter Dinklage ( death at a funeral, Penelope).
Charla from the Amazing Race. Not really famous, but I've never laughed harder than when they put her in the suit of armor.

Chewy or Chewie (not sure of spelling) on "Chelsea Lately."
I'm not sure why, but he's the only one that comes to mind at the moment

all the ones on "Little People, Small World." them, or the guy from elf who is yelling at will ferrell because ferrell thinks he is an actualy elf.

I would have to say that Webster A.K.A. Emmanuel Lewis is my favorite little person. He isn't as scary as some of the others.

Shirley Temple.
She can sing, dance, and act.
Note to webmaster: If you wanted midgets, you should have said midgets.
My favorite little person is santana moss. but i don't know if he's really a celebrity.
